    Baghdad today - follow-up
    The electrical connection between Iraq and the Gulf states faces obstacles that threaten the operation of its first phase, which is planned for the end of the current year 2024, including the presence of some war remnants in the locations of its implementation in Iraq.
    The link line, which costs $228 million, is scheduled to extend from the Wafra station in Kuwaiti territory to the Al-Faw station in southern Iraq, with a capacity of up to 600 megawatts in the first phase.
    According to the CEO of the Gulf Electrical Interconnection Authority, Ahmed Al-Ibrahim, the operational operations in the interconnection project with Iraq have reached 64%, indicating that work is underway on the track inside Iraqi territory, with the aim of accelerating the completion process to overcome implementation obstacles, according to a report published by “Al-Riyadh” newspaper. “On March 6 of this year.
    The Gulf Electrical Interconnection Authority is awaiting the final report from a consulting office working on developing a study regarding making changes in the previously determined path of the interconnection project with Iraq, and determining the nature of the work in the next phase, according to the Saudi Mal newspaper.
    Future kernel
    The economic expert, Muhammad Al-Nayer, points out in a press statement that the electrical interconnection project with the Gulf countries would greatly help in bringing about economic development in Iraq, and represents the nucleus of a future plan as well, not only to supply Iraq with electricity, but to supply Egypt and Jordan in the next stage. also.
    Al-Nayer adds that the electrical connection represents an introduction to the export of energy from the Gulf to the countries of the continents of Asia and Africa at preferential prices, noting that some countries may not have the capacity or capabilities to construct dams, thermal plants, or other expensive projects, and thus the electrical connection represents an effective response to their needs.
    From the perspective of the Iraqi interest, the electrical interconnection represents a necessary project to move the wheel of production in Iraq, which has been severely damaged in its industrial sector due to the lack of electricity. Therefore, completing the electrical interconnection with the Gulf countries would increase production rates, reduce unemployment rates and help improve the level of the economy. Iraqi to a large extent, according to Al-Nayer.
    Al-Nair believes that the electrical interconnection project, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024, should be a prelude to the entry of more Gulf investments into Iraq, and to increase the level of integration between the two sides, not only at the energy level, but also at the economic level, which includes turning the wheel of industrial production in general in Iraq. In addition to linking roads, railways and other means that facilitate the process of transporting products and individuals.
    For the project to succeed, Al-Nayer stresses the need for the government to deal with it as part of an “integrated economic process,” and not as a solution for providing electricity and energy only.
    Deficit coverage
    In this context, the economic expert, Hossam Ayesh, confirms in a press statement that the electrical connection represents an Arab project since the end of the last century, and many steps have been completed in it, but the various Arab regional problems stopped or reduced the effectiveness of this agreement, and therefore it was replaced by bilateral agreements. .
    Regarding the Gulf electrical connection with Iraq specifically, Ayesh points out that it is a project that has been talked about since the year 2019 and work on it began in the middle of last year (2023) and aims to link the electrical system of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries to the Iraqi electrical system, especially the southern Iraqi system, and to supply Iraq In the first stage, about 500 megawatts of electrical power, although the load capacity in this line reaches 1,800 megawatts.
    Ayesh adds that Iraq has electrical interconnection agreements with Jordan as well, and the project is still in the implementation phase. He also has another project with Turkey, because the electrical generating capacity in Iraq reaches the limits of 26 thousand megawatts, while the Iraqi need reaches 35 thousand megawatts. Which means that Iraq suffers from a deficit of approximately 9,000 megawatts, which led, among other reasons, to approximately 50,000 factories in Iraq stopping work.
    The Iraqi government covers this deficit either by cutting off electricity, or by specific hours for electrical connection with other countries, according to Ayesh, noting that Baghdad is purchasing gas from Iran with the aim of generating electricity within a system that represents one of the most important forms of corruption, as tens of billions of dollars have been spent on The electrical system in Iraq since 2003, yet the deficit has continued, and the need for more investments in the sector has continued.
    In this regard, Ayesh points out that Iraq's dependence on Iran to generate electricity remains one of the important problems in the Iraqi energy sector, especially since Iraq burns associated gas, which costs the Iraqi government borne losses, estimated at about 4 billion dollars.
    Regarding the consequences of the electrical connection, Ayesh believes that the project’s prospects are beyond just the Gulf investment presence inside Iraq, as it will carry with it a later economic and political presence through the proceeds of transferring surplus electrical energy in the Gulf countries to sell or export it to Iraq and other countries in later stages. .
    However, Ayesh points out that effective and influential Iraqi parties with a presence in the political scene may be affected by the transfer of the Iraqi “energy interconnection” from Iran to the Arab Gulf states, and it is expected that the interconnection project will face challenges in its completion, which requires following up on the various Iraqi parties and explaining the economic returns. The social and living conditions that result from this linkage, as well as its economic return for the benefit of Iraq.
